Sam Malone (Ted Danson) played a womanizing bartender on Cheers. During the series’ first five seasons, he and the academic Diane Chambers (Shelley Long) had an on-again-off-again relationship. While the twosome was quite different, they had some serious chemistry. They both dated other people during their breakups but kept winding up together.

Diane left the series in 1987, and Sam pursued a woman named Rebecca. In the end, he was unmarried and overcoming an addiction through group meetings and with the help of Frasier. It’s clear he should have made his relationship with Diane a priority instead of pursuing multiple meaningless relationships.
